Visual acuity - A measure of how clearly you can see details, often assessed using an eye chart during an eye exam. Visual acuity tests help determine the sharpness of your vision and are crucial in diagnosing refractive errors and other vision issues. It's typically expressed as a fraction, such as 20/20 also know as 6/6 indicating normal vision.
